TRADING GLOSSARY
Negative balance protection
Negative balance protection means that if a fast market move takes your account below zero, the negative balance is reset, so you can't lose more than your deposit.
EXAMPLE
A large gap triggers a stop out below zero; the account is reset to zero rather than owing money.
